OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

In normal operation, the operator must not remove the Ramp/Soak Profile Controller from its housing or have unrestricted access to the rear terminals, as this would provide potential contact with hazardous live parts.

Installation and configuration must be undertaken only by technically-competent servicing personnel. This is covered in Volume II of this manual.

1.2 STARTING A PROGRAM

To start a program running:

PM-0077

1.3 PUTTING A PROGRAM IN HOLD

A program can be put in Hold (i.e. frozen) at any time whilst it is running. The program setpoint will stay at its value at the instant the program entered Hold until the program is released (see Subsection 1.4) or aborted (see Subsection 1.5). To

put a program in hold, momentarily press the RUN key. The RUN indicator will flash whilst the program is in hold.

1.4 RELEASING A PROGRAM FROM HOLD

To release a program currently in Hold, momentarily press the RUN key. The

RUN indicator will then go ON continuously.

1.5 ABORTING A PROGRAM

To abort the current-running (or held) program, hold down the RUN key for 5 seconds. The program will be aborted, the RUN indicator will go OFF and the

normal Controller functions will be resumed.

PM-0077

NOTE: When a program is aborted, the instrument returns to the Controller Setpoint value. If a program is successfully completed, the Controller Setpoint is automatically set to the final setpoint value of the program. If it is desired to restore the initial Controller Setpoint value after the program is completed, this value should be used as the program Final Setpoint value.

1.7 RaPID CONTROL FEATURE

The RaPID control feature may be used when extra fast responses and minimum overshoot are required. The RaPID feature works best when PID terms are well-tuned; therefore, it is recommended that the Pre-Tune feature (see Subsection

1.8) is run before the RaPID feature is engaged.

To disengage RaPID control, use the same key actions. NOTE: The RaPID feature

cannot be engaged if Proportional Band 1 or Proportional Band 2 is set to 0.

1.8 PRE-TUNE FEATURE

This facility may be used to provide initial tuning of the Profile Controller’s PID parameters. Pre-Tune may be engaged (and subsequently disengaged) as follows:

NOTE: The Pre-Tune facility will not engage if (a) a program is currently running, (b) the process variable is within 5% of input span of the setpoint, or (c) an erroneous key sequence is used. Pre-Tune is a single-shot process which automatically disengages itself when completed.

PM-0077

1.9 ENGAGING BOTH PRE-TUNE AND RaPID FEATURES

The Pre-Tune and RaPID features can be engaged in one key action sequence:

Pre-Tune will operate first. When it is completed it will disengage itself and the RaPID feature will then operate automatically.

1.10 INDICATION OF PRE-TUNE AND RaPID STATUS

The responses to the RaPID feature being engaged are:

CREATING/EDITING A PROGRAM

2.1 ENTRY

To enter Program Definition Mode:

PM-0077

NOTE: If the Program Define Mode lock code has been set to 0, pressing the Scroll key in Step 2 will give direct access to Program Define Mode; no entry of lock code is required.

Upon entry into Program Define Mode, the first Segment Definition parameter for Segment 1 of Program 1 will be displayed.

2-1 Volume I O077-2

PM-0077

2.2 CREATING A PROGRAM

A program is created in two steps:

1. Define the segments of your program; the parameters used depend on what Program Mode has been configured - Rate Mode (see Subsection

2.2.2) or Time Mode (see Subsection 2.2.3). The segment definitions determine whether the selected segment is a Ramp Segment, a Soak Segment or an End Segment.

2. Set the required Program Options (see Subsection 2.2.4). These determine:

(i) The number of cycles performed by the program, (Ii) The timebase to be used (hours/minutes or minutes/seconds) (Iii) The width of the Guaranteed Soak Band (if enabled), (Iv) The state of the event indicator for each segment in the program, (v) The lock code to be used for subsequent entries into Program Define Mode.

2.2.1 Basic Guidelines

1. The Ramp/Soak Profile Controller may contain up to four programs.

2. Each program may comprise up to 16 segments.

3. Each segment may be:

(a) a Ramp Segment (setpoint changing at a defined rate or between the initial value and a pre-determined final value over a defined time), (b) a Soak Segment (setpoint constant for a defined time,) or (c) an End Segment (marking the end of the program).

4. A program may contain only one End Segment (the last segment in the program).

5. If the program comprises 16 segments, Segment 16 is automatically an End Segment.

The Guaranteed Soak Band is applicable to Soak segments only and operates as follows (depending on whether Guaranteed Soak has been enabled or Manual Guaranteed Soak has been configured):

O077-2 Volume I 2-6

PM-0077

2.2.6 Segment Event Status

For every segment in a program there is an event indicator. This may be set ON or OFF for that segment. The status for the segments in the currently-selected program appears in the following form in the upper display:

The first display shows the current event status for Segments 1 - 8 and the second display shows the current event status for Segments 9 - 16. Each event marker may be set ON (Up key) or OFF (Down key) in order of segment number. Only the event indicators for the segments in the program are displayed. If the program has less than 16 segments (including the End Segment), the non-applicable display positions are blank; if the program has eight segments or less, the second display is not included.. The lower display shows the current segment number. Thus, the key sequence to define the event markers for Segments 1 - 8 could be:

PM-0077

Pressing the Scroll key would then display the event markers for Segments 9 - 16 (as applicable), which could be defined in a similar manner.

3 CONTROLLER SET-UP MODE

In this mode, the parameters which define the operation of the controller are defined. Controller Set-Up Mode can be entered (whether or not there is a program currently running) as follows:

NOTES:

1. If the Controller Set-Up Mode lock code has been set to 0, pressing the Scroll key in Step 2 will give direct access to Controller Set-Up Mode; no entry of lock code is required.

2. If the upper display initially shows all decimal points illuminated (see right), one or more configuration parameters have been altered and, as a consequence, all Controller Set Up Mode parameters have been automatically set to their default values/settings. To clear this display, simply alter the value/setting of any Controller Set Up Mode parameter.

Upon entry into Controller Set-Up Mode, the first in a sequence of controller parameters will be displayed. The operator may then step through the parameter sequence using the Scroll key, adjusting the setting/value of each displayed parameter using the Up/Down keys. The parameter sequence is as follows:

2. Switching differential for ON/OFF control output.

3. Optional; only one legend will appear for each alarm.

4. Only applicable if a DC linear input is fitted.

5. Only applicable if Output 2 is fitted as a secondary control (COOL) output.

6. Applicable only if the Communications Option is fitted.

7. When a program is running, respective to program setpoint.
